Phil then notices a address written on Alan's stomach as the pack go to the address but turns out to a hotel and a meeting with a man named Kingsley as he tells him to bring Chow's bank code and password and in return, he will give them Teddy. The trio then goes back to the hotel and find out that Chow isn't dead as they tell them about the plan, but he tells them that he put the bank codes in the monkey's vest. The pack then goes to the monkey's location and kidnap the monkey, but they get caught by the mobsters which leads to a vicious car chase.
The pack then drops the monkey off at a Bangkok vet since it was shot by one of the mobsters. The pack then goes to the hotel as they give Kingsley the bank code and password, but only to have Chow getting arrested and Kingsley tells them that they never had Teddy and they just used that as information.
Phil then calls Tracy about the previous events of the night and that they lost Teddy. Stu then has a epiphany from the power outages of Bangkok, the game machine Alan was playing, the ice machine, and Teddy's finger as he tells the guys that Teddy is trapped in the elevator of the hotel they woken up in. The pack then has to find a way to get to the wedding but Teddy remembers that he has the keys to Chow's speedboat "The Perfect Life" as they make in time, only for Stu to show Lauren's father that he isn't some boring dentist and that he has a "demon" in him, he's really wild, and that he took on Bangkok with his friends.
Stu and Lauren get married and Alan gives him his gift which is a musical performance from Mike Tyson. Teddy tells the guys that he recharged his phone and found pictures from the night before as they look over the pictures with Mike, only agreeing to delete the evidence after. Hangover Wiki Explore. Storyline Edit. Angelenos Doug Billings and Tracy Garner are about to get married. Two days before the wedding, the four men in the wedding party - Doug, Doug's two best buddies Phil Wenneck and Stu Price, and Tracy's brother Alan Garner - hop into Tracy's father's beloved Mercedes convertible for a hour stag party to Las Vegas.
Phil, a married high school teacher, has the same maturity level as his students when he's with his pals. Stu, a dentist, is worried about everything, especially what his controlling girlfriend Melissa thinks. Because she disapproves of traditional male bonding rituals, Stu has to lie to her about the stag, he telling her that they are going on a wine tasting tour in the Napa Valley. Regardless, he intends on eventually marrying her, against the advice and wishes of his friends.
And Alan seems to be unaware of what are considered the social graces of the western world. The morning after their arrival in Las Vegas, they awaken in their hotel suite each with the worst hangover.
None remembers what happened in the past twelve or so hours. The suite is in shambles. And certain things are in the suite that shouldn't be, and certain things that should be in the suite are missing.
Probably the most important in the latter category is Doug. As Phil, Stu and Alan try to find Doug using only what little pieces of information they have at hand, they go on a journey of discovery of how certain things got into the suite and what happened to the missing items.
However they are on a race for time as if they can't find Doug in the next few hours, they are going to have to explain to Tracy why they are not yet back in Los Angeles. And even worse, they may not find Doug at all before the wedding. Some guys just can't handle Vegas. Rated R for pervasive language, sexual content including nudity, and some drug material. Did you know Edit. Trivia No effects or prosthetics were created for Stu's missing tooth.
Ed Helms never had an adult incisor grow, and his fake incisor was taken out for the parts of filming where Stu's tooth is missing. Goofs The formal name for "roofies" is given as "Ruphylin". The drug is really a trademark brand named Rohypnol, but was changed for the movie because the makers did not want to be associated with the depicted criminal activities. Quotes Stu Price : She's got my grandmother's Holocaust ring!
Crazy credits First part of the end credits feature a collage of photos showing what happened that night. Alternate versions In the UK, on the advice of the BBFC, the photographs of an elderly woman performing oral sex on Alan were blurred in order to reduce the rating from a "18" to a "15".
This version was also released on DVD. Connections Edited into Yoostar 2: In the Movies User reviews Review. Top review. Genuinely funnier than any comedy in recent memory. Most great comedies are based on fundamental truths -- we find a deal of humour in the illumination of our own human tragedy.
Office Space is funny, for example, because we've all worked that type of job, put up with that type of boss, and suffered that type of monotonous everyday boredom. Todd Phillips' new movie, The Hangover, is as aptly titled as anything else released this year: it's about a Vegas bachelor party gone horribly awry, in which the groom inexplicably disappears, no one can remember a damned thing, and Mike Tyson wants his tiger back. Yes, we've all had those nights, though perhaps not to such extremes that's where the exaggeration of comedy serves us.
The Hangover is funny because it takes this cultural ritual -- an American tradition; something almost all of us can relate to -- and finds genuine humour in the pain of its aftermath.
I concede that bachelor party movies are not in short supply; the genre if it is, indeed, a genre should have probably both begun and ended with the Tom Hanks flick almost three decades ago. But The Hangover wisely studies the day after rather than the day itself; this is funnier because the plot works backwards, without tacky flashbacks, and much of the evening in question is left to our imagination.
While it would be misleading to claim this is a brilliant film in either regard — as comedy or character study , it's an assured picture that finds its footing immediately and achieves a surprising level of sustenance throughout its running time. And frankly, let's be honest, this is a breath of fresh air: it's one of the best R-rated comedies of the decade, and certainly the most uproarious since Superbad was released two years ago. Most R-rated comedies produced today are defiant; the R-rating has become a hindrance to film studios' sensibilities — everything is PG, saving the shameless Unrated schpeel for the DVD cut.
All of these issues with The Hangover were perfectly obvious on its release. To this day, its Rotten Tomatoes audience approval rating stands at a stonking 84 per cent.
The good news, though, is that The Hangover was not the beginning of something, but the end. Comedy in the preceding decade and a half had been dominated by lowest-denominator gross-outs. From American Pie to Old School via Dumb and Dumber , the tone was puerile and matter-of-factly sexist and often racist too. With The Hangover , these traits came together in one toxic pyre of bromantic fear and loathing.
Nevertheless, it quickly became obvious that times had moved on. The cast more or less disowned the follow-ups. And when female-centric Bridesmaids became a hit in , there was a sense audiences were at last ready for bawdy chuckles that flowed from a non-douchey dude perspective.
The Hangover had lumbered big screen comedy with a killer headache. Ten years on, the happy twist is that, despite stomping all over the box office like a football hooligan, it has, with hindsight, left almost no legacy at all.
